The day people stop characterizing Kirk as an asshole or a clumsy himbo is the day I know peace
Stop mischaracterizing my boy
"Is it bad over there?" "It's gonna take some work before it's only bad."
[image ID: a fake promotional poster for the TV show, MASH, for the episode "Aid Station." It has a dirty and scratched up olive drab background, with an off-white circle containing the red cross symbol of medical staff, which has scratches like chipped paint. The center circle contains a digitally illustrated scene of Hawkeye, Houlihan, and Klinger attending a wounded patient at the bombed-out Aid Station, and the four of them are colored red to form the shape of the central red cross. The poster text is in military stencil font and also scratched up. At the top it reads, "MASH Season 3 Episode 19: Aid Station." The text at the bottom reads, "February 11th, 8:30 PM on CBS. Written by Larry Gelbart and Simon Muntner." end ID]
edit: progress shots under the cut!
Feeling some emotions regarding them
Headcanon that Riptide and Blood in the Bayou exist in PD as a TV show and a movie respectively.
Riptide (TV) existed as a very long prolific pirate show, think some weird cross of Black Sails and Our Flag Means Death, but it got a Supernatural treatment. I’m talkin this shit started small, intending to be only 2 or 3 seasons long, but ended up with a long winded 16 seasons as the plots continued to develop further and further and escalate beyond imagination. By the time PD starts, the show has mercifully ended but the producers have been GUNNING for spinoffs (a Black Rose Pirates prequel has been rejected by the network three times; it may be for the best tbh)
Blood in the Bayou was originally an 80s horror movie, a classic, though relatively obscure. Hardcore movie goers have it, and collectors still have the original VHS copies (I have a separate personal headcanon that Mark likes to collect old stuff like old tech and classic physical media just for fun; he has the BitB VHS in the garage somewhere). Though it wasn’t really known by many, those who did know had a hardcore love for it. Enough so that eventually, BitB got picked up by some producers, and by modern day, Blood in the Bayou has had a full remake and is in theaters NOW
Some trivia about both medias:Â
- The actor that played Chip in Riptide (TV) was cast to play Timothy Rand in the BitB reboot. Many are delighted that he’s now moving to movie work post-Riptide’s end, especially since he was an unknown young actor prior to the show. (He’s now 36 years old. He began the show at 19)
- The actor cast for Rolan Deep is actually related to William Wisp, in that he’s like, an uncle’s cousin somewhere further on the family tree. Not closely related, but…
- Kian Stone’s actor is painfully offline. He’s unfamiliar with fandom stuff to an incredible degree. He did a “reading your thirst tweets” for a video and didn’t understand half of what was being said about him. This makes his interactions with Rand’s actor, who is familiar with All Of It, even more entertaining.
- Riptide (TV) is effectively the SPN in the PD universe. Yes, you had a Riptide phase in high school. Come on now. Rumblr was all about it. Harlem had a Riptide phase.
“what about apotheosis!!” oh everything that happened in Apotheosis is Real, Actually. it’s just on another plane/world probably.Â
(I haven’t watched Apotheosis idk anything about it but I like to imagine that everything there is very much real because that’s Funny to me)
I will get you home
he for real got down to his tighty whities and swam with those whales……
Happy first day of May officially one month till the gay month
